BEIJING, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- China cut administrative fees on businesses by more than 420 billion yuan (63.38 billion U.S. dollars) during the past years to relieve their burden and stimulate the market.

More than 60 percent of the reduction was made during 2013 to 2016 through drops in operation service fees and power use costs, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said Tuesday. All businesses and individuals were exempted from 18 items of charges last year Nike Air Force 1 Mid Sale , a policy previously only for small firms.

The rest of the cuts came from lower electricity prices, exemptions of highway tolls and improved fee management in the financial sector in the first eight months of the year.

The government has channeled more energy into cleaning up corporate fees to relieve burden on businesses struggling amid the economic slowdown. A detailed national list of administrative fees is being compiled by the NDRC and will be released by the end of 2017.

TBILISI, June 7 (Xinhua) -- South Africa and Ireland on Friday took their respective opening matches at the inaugual IRB Tbilisi Cup rugby tournament.

The SA President's XV trounced Uruguay 37-9 while Emerging Ireland came from behind to down hosts Georgia 20-15.

The Uruguayans were forced to hold their own for just half of Friday's match as they were trailing at 15-9 and could not keep up with the South Africans at all in the second half.

The International Rugby Board (IRB) has created the Tbilisi Cup tourney for world second tier rugby nations in the tune-up toward the 2015 World Rugby Cup.

The South Africans, pre-tournament favorites Nike Air Force 1 07 Mid Sale , scored six tries in their opening match. They next play Ireland on Tuesday next week when hosts Georgia entertain Uruguay.

The Tbilisi Cup is the first time ever for the South Caucasus country of Georgia to host as an IRB event for senior players.

Tbilisi played host to an IRB junior World Cup event in 2011.

This new annual international tournament consists part of IRB's efforts to increase competition for second tier rugby nations of the world.

A Servant of Two Masters was the last of the six plays I saw during the opening season of Theatre Above in Shanghai, the first theater of US-born Taiwanese auteur Stan Lai, who is one of the leading Chinese practitioners of the craft.

From the end of December to the end of February, Lai is selecting six of his Performance Workshop's famed plays to stage at Theatre Above.

All of them are delivered in Chinese with English subtitles. They included Sand on a Distant Star Nike Air Force 1 07 Hoog Sale , which featured popular Hong Kong actress Cheng Pei-pei; A Blurry Kind of Love, with Taiwanese heartthrob singer Chen Chia-hwa; and Crosstalk Travelers, with Chinese TV host and actor Dai Jun.

These three shows sold tickets quickly thanks to those big names, but failed to receive commensurate reviews.

Big names

Sand on a Distant Star tells the romantic story of the fantasies people have when they are frustrated in life.

It offers up some profound thoughts amid slapstick Nike Air Force 1 Zwart Wit Sale , but unfortunately this production lost its beauty and flow due to the actors repeatedly making mistakes in the delivery of their lines.

A blend of the 18th century French comedy The Game of Love and Chance and Chinese TV and film romances of the late 20th Century, A Blurry Kind of Love aroused constant lighthearted laughter from the audience with its exaggerated performances.

It touched upon common relationship anxieties, but offered few surprises in its storytelling.
